3k is very cheap. dang.
You would just look for the same issues as a regular og9-3...well maybe 9-5 in this case. Ask him what his oil intervals were since he dropped the pan, that will give you a good idea of what shape it's in. Look for the PCV 6 update. At this mileage, it should have had a clutch, DI casette, MAF, and possibly a throttle body replaced. The td04's are pretty tough so it should be in good shape. Other than other typical wear items (i.e. water pump, serp belt, a/c compressor), I think that's pretty much it. It's going to be hard to come up with a reason not to buy that car for $3000.
